Has anybody tried this dye in a front loading washing machine?

Yes I did, and will never do it again. Eventually after about 10 washes the navy dye I used faded from the machine. I complained to dylon and they sent me two items to get the colour from a wash I run after using the dye and looked very grubby. It did help but I did lose some items because they were really dull in colour. Just to let you know I would never use it again in any washing machine

I have not! It brings the softest feel ever, to all our wool and cashmere sweaters, amazing, I've often wondered what my regular clothes would be like if I were to substitute that for the Laundress Darks I use for normal machine washing, probably the same softness!

I have a front loading machine and I put it in with the fabric softener. I'm not sure how well it works but it takes the stink away.

It's not going to work very well. The clothes need to be soaked overnight for the best results. If you're willing to risk your washing machine and possibly have dye stuck in there for an unknown number of washes then you could try, but I don't find it keen. Plus I doubt the colors will hold in the fabric very long for whatever you're trying to dye. Additionally, it may be counter-intuitive to use the washing machine since the salts may become separated from the fabric in a machine-controlled cycle and the salts are what help to bind the dye to the fabric so you really want the salts clinging to the fabric instead of being shaken off violently in a wash cycle.(It also won't even be good to use the washing machine to rinse the clothes once they're done soaking in dye, either, because that's a huge waste of water as rinsing the dye takes forever and a wash cycle will never be as thorough as using your hands and a water hose.)I would say just grab a big tub and do it the old-fashioned way. Much more fun.

I have not tried it for the washer. The main thing to do to keep the front loading machine from smelling is to not shut the door. Shutting it makes it smell pretty bad.

interesting! We havent tried that. We only use it in the bath so far. The tablets need some time to disolve, so I'm not sure how that would work in a machine, especially with multiple cycles, like wash & rinse.. but if you're doing your laundry by hand, I would say probably it would work, but first test it on clothing you don't care too much about! (hope that helps...)

Not sure, but it will not hurt to try. I've found this cleaner to be very safe on colors and all fabric types. If this doesn't work, you might try WD40.

Yes, you can use the product in a front load washer. You can add it to the detergent dispenser for overall brightness/whiteness and/or you can add some product directly onto the fabric, depending on the stain. You can also do a pre-soak and only add the product to the detergent dispenser and then follow with a normal washing cycle with or without adding the product to the detergent.

Not sure, as I have top loader, but it is a powder detergent. I'm not sure you can get it anymore. Just noticed someone else has commented that it is not OK in a front loader.

Yes, it is designed to work for front loading machines. I use a front-load machine to wash my laundry. There's an Amazon reviewer who also testifies to Method 8X Concentrated Laundry for use in front loading machines. My only disagreement with the review here is that I think the pump works fantastically and I have no complaints whatsoever about it.http://www.amazon.com/review/R1OFH8KYRJ98JS/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1OFH8KYRJ98JSYou can also look up Method 8X Concentrated Laundry on Target's website where it will tell you this product is made for front loading machines.

I have a Samsung front load washer and tossed the product in. Each time, despite using HOT water cycle, the product left a goey mess on some articles of clothing. I ended up giving them away to someone who had a top loader and loved the product.

I thought to try that, but my washer will not 'fill' unless there are clothes PRESENT in the drum...so there is no way to pre-dissolve or I would do that! You would not have believed what a mess my last load of darks was. I am wondering if I need to do 'extra rinse'...seems like a waste of water there.

I have a large front loader as well. For a full load I use a slightly heaped scoop and about a quarter scoop in the pre wash compartment. It has always worked well for me!

I also have a front loading HE washer. The soap nuts work great in it. You do need to use warm water, if using cold, soak the soap nuts in warm water first to activate them.

Yes, I used it in my top loading HE machine. I did not care for it. It left a residue in my machine and clothes.

This is the only detergent I will use on my clothes...when I upgraded to a front loader I use it just as I would with my old machine.

no, it goes right in any washing machine with the dirty clothes, then start the water as they dissolve and smell amazing. I love the pink colored one, not sure of the scent name. Dont put it in the soap dispenser
